Plus $40 Materials Fee

This large and unusual storage basket, equal to a bushel basket in size, can hold blankets or quilts for those chilly fall days. The base of the basket is a 4/4 twill pattern. The side walls are woven with 1/4 binder cane in a twill pattern that swirls around the basket. There are rows of color at both the bottom and top of the side walls. Students can expect to complete the base on the first night, and begin the sides of the basket. The second week of class will be used to weave the sidewalls. The third week will be needed to rim the top of the basket. The base of the basket measures 11 inches by 11 inches, with side walls that flare out and weave 14-15 inches high. The circumference of the rim is 54 inches. Prepare to be challenged by this beautiful basket, worth every bit of effort. NOTE: This class is not recommended for students without weave experience. If a student is unable to attend all three weeks of class, arrangements for completion of the basket must be made with the instructor prior to the start of class.
